I was surprised and, in fact, a little terrified when I found myself in the middle of a feminist spiritual reawakening.</I> <P>Sue Monk was a "conventionally religious, churchgoing woman, a traditional wife and mother" with a thriving career as a Christian writer until she began to question her role as a woman in her culture, her family, and her church. From a jarring encounter with sexism in a suburban drugstore to monastery retreats and rituals in the caves of Crete, Kidd takes readers through the fear, anger, healing, and transformation of her awakening. Retaining a meaningful connection "with the deep song of Christianity," she opens the door for traditional Christian women to discover a spirituality that speaks directly to them and provides inspiring wisdom for all who struggle to embrace their full humanity.</P> 2778913 22 11 1996 The Dance of the Dissident Daughter total:969|5:328|4:287|3:233|2:86|1:35| 969 3694 1753 243 2 5 false false Sat Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Fri Dec 28 10:29:58 -0800 2007 Mon Mar 31 19:00:50 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 3 false false Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Tue Aug 07 16:10:15 -0700 2007 Tue Aug 07 16:17:11 -0700 2007 more...]]> 3 2 false false Sun Dec 16 16:06:11 -0800 2007 Sun Feb 03 07:57:09 -0800 2008
